the greatest show on earth


what is it about the circus? it was just in lexvegas this past weekend. we did not go. thank god. but would we have taken our kids? probably not. could it be because of the abundance of scary clowns playing in groups of 8, jumping in and out of cars and playing with fire? maybe. mostly i think it is because i never got that souvenir spinny light that i wanted as a child. the circus has always been a bust since then. man, i was such a brat (and still probably am).

is this picture scary or what?

great, now i will have nightmares tonight. clowns are the worst - very creepy. my sister loved clowns when we were growing up and since we had to share a room, that meant looking at all of her clown crap until i finally got my own room in 7th grade.

Ok, Miranda and I went to the show on Thursday with the Browns, and it was actually very fun! The head clown was great and actually really talented. Miranda wasn't sure what to think of most of it, but she enjoyed the sights and sounds, and throwing her Cheerios onto the balding head of the man below us.

But no, she did not and will not receive a spinning, glowing toy, or a snow cone in an overpriced tiger mug, or a $12 picture on a fake elephant. Maybe next yer, the pic...

that's cool, maria, that you guys went. my dad always took me as a child and even though i'm cynical about the circus, we had fun. i do fondly remember the magnificent aroma of elephant dung. oh yeah, i wanted that snow cone in the souvenir mug too. now the picture...hmmmm....
